Women in Computer Science

Nationwide, women students are underrepresented in computer science. To give women students in the CS Department at BU an opportunity to interact with each other, share experiences, and discuss and address concerns, Professor Margrit Betke organizes “Women in Computer Science” seminars. Information about career opportunities, scholarships, and other opportunities are provided. The CS Department has supported several women graduate students to attend the annual Grace-Hopper Conference and other career-building workshops. Women students have also been involved in various research projects in the department. Here are some examples:

MentorNet is the E-Mentoring Network for Women in Engineering and Science. Women who are studying engineering or science are paired with professional scientists and engineers working in industry, to help them form email-based mentoring relationships.
